Backtrack .. and TOR .. you dont say!

[vvpalin]

This is almost to easy but i just might save a few of you some time so here we go.

Like i said .. almost to easy...

cd /tmp/
wget http://www.torproject.org/dist/tor-0.2.1.21.tar.gz
tar xvf tor-0.2.1.21.tar.gz
rm tor-0.2.1.21.tar.gz
cd tor-0.2.1.21
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
rm -rf tor-0.2.1.21

mv /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc.sample /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc
echo "RunAsDaemon 1" >> /usr/local/etc/tor/torrc

Polipo is for web-browsing, its a little bit newer but your welcome to go the other road if you like.

apt-get -y install polipo

Now we just need to grab a workable conf file before we are ready to go. I also like to remove it from startup because i cant stand unused open ports, but your welcome to leave it.

wget --no-check-certificate https://svn.torproject.org/svn/torbr...ig/polipo.conf
rm /etc/polipo/config
mv polipo.conf /etc/polipo/config
update-rc.d -f polipo remove

Pretty simple rite? But since your here lets do a few other things real fast.

1. Open firefox and go to about:config
2. Search for google and remove EVERYTHING .. "google=skynet"
3. You dont have to but its nice to enable forward dns through socks just incase you need it and forget
4. Remove all cookies and history on close.
5. Now Download these fine plugns.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2275 # torbutton
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/590 # show-ip
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 # user agent switcher
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/953 # ref control
Adblock Plus: Installation # addblockplus

Now since im a nice guy i figured i might as well give you these horrible scripts that get the job done.

Just paste into shell and type tor-up or tor-down, enable torbutton in FF and your off.

#### OUR RUN SCRIPT ####

echo '#!/bin/sh' > /usr/bin/tor-up
echo "/usr/local/bin/tor > /dev/null 2>&1" >> /usr/bin/tor-up
echo "/etc/init.d/polipo start > /dev/null 2>&1" >> /usr/bin/tor-up
chmod 755 /usr/bin/tor-up

#### OUR RUN SCRIPT ####

echo '#!/bin/sh' > /usr/bin/tor-down
echo "killall tor > /dev/null 2>&1" >> /usr/bin/tor-down
echo "/etc/init.d/polipo stop > /dev/null 2>&1" >> /usr/bin/tor-down
chmod 755 /usr/bin/tor-down

^^Good job, but you know Tor is in the Repo in BT4..

An alternative install for privoxy users would be:

apt-get install tor

then

apt-get install gedit

Edit privoxy file(I dont like polipo)

gedit /etc/privoxy/config

scroll down the config file to section "2.6. logfile" and comment out the logfile as so :

#
logifile logfile
#

change to:
#
#logifile logfile
#

Then scroll down the txt/config file to section "5.2. forward-socks4, forward-socks4a and forward-socks5" and comment in the forward requests like so:

#
# forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
#

change to

#
forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
#


in terminal:

/etc/init.d/privoxy restart && /etc/init.d/tor restart - needed to apply the changes we just made


Close and save changes and your finished! Just check you manual proxy settings and change accordingly

Just to let yall know, yall can go check out the step by step on the Tor website, too.It's great what you're doing bro but I think they primarily want BT related topics here. I'm not a moderator and I'm not running shit so plz don't take it that way. Here's the link for their tut.:

I just did what you instructed and within the config file there is no socks5, and when I open a browser and go to 127.0.0.1:9050 I am getting this error:

Tor is not an Proxy

It appears you have configured your web browser to use Tor as an HTTP proxy. This is no correct: Tor is a SOCKS proxy, not an HTTP proxy. Please configure your client accordingly.

( Grammars errors included in error ;-) )

What gives?

In firefox go to Edit --> Preferences --> Network --> Advanced --> Settings
Choose Manual Proxy Configuration
In the SOCKS host give 127.0.0.1 and port 9050
select Socks v5,save and your good to go

FYI

in BT4R2, tor is pre-installed.

/usr/local/etc/tor/

is the default location of torrc and you can simply uncomment "RunAsDaemon 1" to continue.

polipo.conf can now be found at:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbro...ig/polipo.conf

...although i didn't use that, as privoxy suits me fine and is pre-installed. that being said, i commented the logfile entry and uncommented
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
as was mentioned by nullbyt3

adblock plus: as of this writing, the version on their site (1.3.1) is incompatible with the version of FF that ships with BT4R2 (3.0.15).

you should prolly update your up/down scripts, tor's default installation is

/usr/sbin/tor

.

... restarted tor and privoxy as well as FF and good to go!

Just followed the steps for privoxy and proxychains and seems that there is summin I have done wrong Not cool at all but thanks so much for the guides
